Conservative radio buffoon Rush Limbaugh thinks of himself as an ace strategist and so he thought he was being extremely clever back in March when he launched "Operation Chaos" an effort to undermine frontrunner Barack Obama's chances in the fall election by prolonging the Democratic primary season and forcing Obama to deplete his resources early. Rushbo, accordingly, urged his conservative Republican listeners to take advantage of open primaries in many thats that allow non-Democrats to participate and vote for Hilary Clinton in order to drag the race out as long as possible. Brilliant eh? And how mischievous!
Unfortunately the Limbaugh his plan was too clever by half and has backfired.
DNC chair Howard Dean has talked about the importance of a "50 state strategy" for the past four years and Obama embraced the idea but it was the prolonged primary season that allowed Obama to implement it by virtue of necessity as the never ending race forced him to recruit ground organizers and campaign in red states that are usually flyover states for the Dems such as Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Indiana. When the fall campaign came around, polls showed Obama competitive in states that the Democrats had long written off as a result of his spring campaigning and allowed him to use ground organizations left over from the primary season in order to keeps those states competitive forcing McCain to campaign in states which should have been sure things for him. Moreover, Obama won North Carolina and Indiana and thereby assured himself the presidency thanks, in no small part, to Rush Limbaugh's efforts.
Wonder if there’s the internet equivalent of a bar of soap we could hang over the doorway to scare away you smelly hippies?
Blowback?
Nope, Obama sucks.
Awww...what a cute little troll.
About the only one I trust now is Hannity. I sure hope he doesn't let me down.
On the other hand, if there’s any president that’s ultimately going to force USA citizens to quit sitting on their hands and reconnect with the Constitution and its history so that they can protect themselves from the pen of a misguided president, that’s constitutionally clueless Obama.
Well, I guess we’ll just have to disagree on this point. I take Rush at his word about the primary aim of OC, and it worked well.
Your remarks about Sarah show me your pov pretty clearly. No campaign is gaffe-free, though. And for you to choose that as a focal point and not the unabashed “in the tank” modality of Hussein’s coverage makes me wonder if Reagan’s 11th Commandment ought to be part of a new liturgy you adopt.
Good bye.
This troll-thread has not yet been zotted?
I see my boy lollypop is no longer with us. Such cheek...
Tragic, ain't it...? ;)
Rush underestimated the magnitude of Obama’s illegal foreign contributions. That was one of the big differences in this one, IMO.
I get a kick of these trolls that sign up just to make a stupid post then get zotted. They think they’re making a point (apparently), but they’re just background chatter. Something to make fun of.
But, that’s likely their life in a nutshell...
How about idiots who think they’ll get some of that ‘spread wealth’?
Or morons who witheld their vote in protest?
Or idiots who voted FOR Obama to ‘send a message’?
Or.. idiots like YOU?
How long before we hear “It’s Obama’s fault?”

The troll has been banned, but you can still have fun ping!
This is for those of you that had not seen the thread.
There’s nothing worse than a Liberal American DUmbass than a Canadian liberal dumbass.
“How about how conservatives helped elect Obama by allowing McCain to be the nominee??”
Sp which GOP candidate would have done better, and why?
BTTT
